Slovenia and the UK compete for international investment in a global environment where countries are refining tax incentives, regulatory frameworks, and sector-focused policies to attract high-value projects.
The UK has developed a strong track record in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), while Slovenia is working to strengthen its position in strategic growth sectors such as technology, advanced manufacturing, green technologies, and life sciences.
Drawing on UK experience and perspectives from government, business, and investment specialists, this Business Conference will focus on what makes a country attractive to international investors and how Slovenia can strengthen its offer to global businesses.
The conference will take place on the morning of our annual Christmas Gala, offering guests a full day of business discussion, networking, and engagement in London.
Attendance at the event is free of charge; however, advance registration via this link is required.
The number of seats is limited, and priority will be given to guests who will also be attending the Christmas Gala.
